Plants adapt the growth of their roots and shoots differently in response to environmental changes. This is the outcome of a study involving the Ecological-Botanical Garden (ÖBG) at the University of Bayreuth. The researchers challenge previous assessments of climate change impacts on plants, which often extrapolate from aboveground to belowground plant structures. Their findings have been published in the journal Plant & Soil.

Studying the growth of bacteria without cell walls in an artificial environment can shed new light on the proliferation of primitive life-forms billions of years ago.

This thematic issue presents contributions centering on Aquatic Microbial Ecology including microbes, marine and freshwater systems, and ecological processes. This collection is linked to the Symposium for Aquatic Microbial Ecology (SAME17), which took place in Tartu, Estonia, on 20–25 August 2023, and marked a significant milestone in the field, bringing together 135 participants.

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), the ratio of carbon retained in biomass vs. total C uptake, is central to our understanding of organic C turnov…

Injecting H2 in deep underground to store this energy carrier will produce artificial subsurface lithoautotrophic microbial ecosystems that modify the taxo
